User Macros
An installed macro resides in the .mcr area of a configuration option and
has an entry in the command dictionary specifying its name, abbreviation,
defaults, and input/output behavior. A user macro, by contrast, resides in the
current homepath area and is designated by a percent sign (%) in front of the
macro name. There is no dictionary entry for a user macro, so its defaults (if
any) are given on the macro definition line, and all syntax and explain
information is also extracted from the macro text file itself. A user macro (or
"%" macro) is typically created as a prototype before the developer
has determined the "signature" of the macro.
